DIY brake pad fitting

[r-kid]

As my car is currently being serviced I've been advised that the front brake pads are 80% worn. The dealer has quoted me £550+vat to supply & fit

Now monkfish have them at £130+p&p, so I reckon I'll be doing them myself. I have done pads changes before on my MG, never did on the renault as I didn't wear them out (44k from a set of pads)

So are these easy to fit yourself? Any usual issues that I should be aware of?

Thanks

One of the easiest jobs to do on a car. 10 mins per side.

No worries, if you get stuck just holler!

80% worn so 20% use left

So if you do 10,000 miles you've got another 2,000 miles of use

As said, diy, simple job wheel off, retainer out, caliper up swap

Fairly easy job, ap's are even easier

Just out of interest, are the caliper pistons screw thread or push back? if screw thread are both sides clockwise screw? Done a Ford Transit the other weekend, drivers side right hand thread, passenger side left hand thread ?? Be good to know for future ref.
